The Funeral of Lord Palmerston: arrival of the hearse at the West Door of Westminster Abbey, 1865. 'The funeral procession...slowly entered the Broad Sanctuary and set down the appointed personages, the coffin, and the mourners, at the principal door...The mayors and aldermen, who mostly wore their robes, and were, in some cases, attended by their macebearers or ushers, were admitted as fast as they arrived...The volunteers kept the ground, formed in a double line from the Westminster Hospital across to the Crimean monument of the Westminster scholars, opposite the door of Dean's-yard. The great bell of the Abbey was continually tolling, and summoning the thoughts of the people to the stern fact of death, ever relentlessly repeating, like a fatal monosyllable, the same deep, unmistakable tone. Several thousand persons, of both sexes, of all ages, and of different classes, filled the whole available space and saw the proudly-decorated hearse stop at the Abbey door; they saw the crimson coffin lifted out and covered with that large black and white pall of velvet and satin, which some of the most illustrious men in England stood ready to bear. Then it was carried into the Abbey, at the door of which it was received by Dean Stanley...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

At six in the evening the illumination began, and in half an hour Kiel was resplendent with light. At half-past eight the Duke rode through the town in a carriage, having with him Count Louis Reventlow (who has been his resident Minister at Hamburg for some time) and two of the local senators, while the crowds around the carriage increased each instant, and each instant the roar of their cheers, mingled with the national songs, became louder and louder. At times the progress of the carriage became stopped by the throng; but, after a tour which lasted for an hour, the Duke returned to the place whence he set out'.

All was a blaze of many-coloured light...Conspicuous in the procession were a number of large waggons, draped with the national flag and hung around with Chinese lanterns and other luminous objects. So crowded were these vehicles that they resembled moving pyramids of acrobats. They all displayed an immense variety of transparencies...I noticed one of them with a large stuffed eagle mounted over it upon rods, in a position intended to represent the sweeping soar of that noble bird. The jokes of Mr. Lincoln were a favourite subject for the legends upon the transparencies...The sentiment throughout this demonstration was one of disgust with the [US Civil] war; the feeling, that with the election of M'Clellan peace will be restored - somehow'.
